The Plot Thickens.

PrrrsDuRo, July 25.-The Chronicle Tel
egraph published story this afternoon to
the effect that gigantic scheme is being
planned to control the Knights of Labor
throughout the country. 1t is said to have
for its object the control of the order un-
der the present administration and in the
interest of District assembly No. ~, of
New York, Master Workman Powderly
and General Secretary Litchman. Accord
ing to Knight of Labor who is not com
mitted to the scheme, 1t is proposed to
have delegates go to the general assembly
who will sustain the administration. This
will be accomplished by establishing
classes consisting of nine members in
every city in the country. These classes
are to be made up of the most influential
knights available and will really bt
branches of the Forty miners" assembly

Read the Evidence.

In May 1886 eight men in the city OF
Chicago were leading the eight-houl
movement so formidably that 1t was on
the eve of success; brutal, capitalistic
police despotism attacked peaceable
meeting; an unknown man threw bomb
a venal press, packed jury and rampant
perjury convicted the eight and sentenced
seven to die. They lie in Chicago's bas'
tile awaiting leaden-footed Justice tC
grant them new trial. All Americans
should read both sides of this case. Most
of you have read the lies of the capitalist
press. Be just now and also read the
story of the defendants. Their speeches

way. They remained quiet and peaceable
notwithstanding the police were sent
out to see what they were doing. The tel
ephone racket was used to try to make
them believe the company bad plenty OF
men to take their places in the morning.
But they said 'no, we will not sign" When
the company found that the policemen
and the telephone did not scare them into
terms worse than slavery, they agreed
to meet committee and erase the most
Objectionable parts of the contract and so
the matter was settled in less than two
days. I know the paper will be a little old
by the time you get it, but I wanted you
to see that contract. 1t shows the drift OF
the times on this coast. That some COM
panies want the earth and all that is on
it, in it, above it and below it, and me-
thinks then when they pass of the earth
they will go below-down to the bottom
less pit-yes slower than an iron wedge
would sink in seven years."

Notes From Southern California.

Notes From Southern California.
Los ANGELES, Cal, July 20, ashland
and Labor clubs are being formed all
through this section,
The Los Angeles Trades Council has re-
solved to admit no more delegates from
X. of l.. assemblies inasmuch as their ale
glance in case of trouble is matter of
doubt. However the council will always
cooperate with them in any forward prac-
tical movement in behalf of the toilers.
The car drivers and conductors were
asked to sign "cinching contract" last
week. They refused to sign, struck work,
and won the fight in two days. They
now talk of organizing against future
measures of oppression.
Carpenters unions (Brotherhood) have
lately been organized at Pomona, Santa
Monica, Monrovia, Santa Ana, San Buena
Ventura, Ontario and Oceanside.
The painters have organized unions in
this city, likewise at Pasadena and River
side.
The teamsters of this city, numbering
about 500, have organized a union.
Nine hours is the rule among the build
ing trades in the city and almost general
in the three southern counties.
The Central Labor Union of San Ber-
nardino is fine organization and is doing
herculean work in that vicinity.
Carpenters Union No. 1872 of San Diego
numbers over 400 members. 1t is the
pioneer organization of that section, and
is aiding to organize all the workingmen
of San Diego county. ".

A Crash Must Come.

Bankers Monthly.
Attention has been called to the fact
that the extravagant real estate specula-
ton which has beeI crrried on all over the
country for months has created a laage
amount of new and additional debts in the
form of first, second and third mortgages,
which multiply rapidly as prices are
marked up. 1t is very moderate esti
mate to say that the average prices of real
estate in the most prosperous towns and
cities of the United States have been
marked up at least fifty per cent in the
last six months. some of it two or three
times, and the lessons of history tell wha'
must be the final result of such reckless
and dangerous initiation.

Slaves Are Cheap.

New York Leader.
OF course the Wholesale butchery of
Italian laborers on the track of the Erie
railroad yesterday was murder; cold
blooded, deliberate murder, committed by
the oyerseers who were in charge of this
particular gang of trackmen in the first
instance, and by the corporation who EN-,
ploys Italian coolie-labor.
The fact of such murders occurring and
remaining unpunished is, however, not
surprising. They are the natural outcome
of an industrial system under which labor,
the highest and noblest element in nature
has become purchasable commodity, and
the laborer a slave whose life has less val, G
than car-wheel or the funnel of an en-
CINE. 1t costs money to repair the latter
when they break; it costs nothing to re-
place one wage-slave by another out OF
the inexhaustible fund of surplus labor

story the ON Constitution.

Book III, Chapter Xiv, Section lsH'
"A well-regulated militia being necessary
TO the security of free state, the right OF
the people to keep and bear arms shall
not be infringed."
The importance Of this article Will
scarcely be doubted by any persons VINO
have duly reflected upon the subject
The militia is the natural defense OF a
free country against sudden foreign inva-
sions domestic instructions, and domestic
usurpations OF power by rulers. 1t is
against sound policy for free people to
keep up large military establishments
and standing armies in time of peace,
both from the enormous expenses with
which they are attended, and the facile
means which they afford to ambitious and
unprincipled rulers to subvert the gov
ernment, or trample upon the rights OF
the people. The right of the citizens to
keep and bear arms, has justly been con-
sidered as the palladium OF the liberties
of Republic; since it offers a Republic;
strong moral check against the
usurpation and arbitrary power of
rulers; and will generally, even if these are
successful in the first instance, enable the
people to resist and triumph Oper them.
And yet, though this truth would seem so
clear, and the importance of well-regu-
lated militia would seem so undeniable, it
cannot be disguised that, among the
American people there is agrowing indif-
ference to any system of militia discipline
and a strong disposition, from sense of
its burdens, to be rid of all regulations.
How it is practicable to keep the people
duly armed, without some organization,
IL is difficult to see. There is certainly no
small danger that Indifference may lead
to disgust and disgust to contempt; and
thus gradually undermine all the protec'
tion intended by this clause of our ma
tional bill of rights.

The Turk, seeing that there WAS no fur
ther opportunity to ply his trade, shook
the dust Of Brooklyn from his feet
and went to Newark. Here he also
shook his belief in Christianity, and re-
affirmed his belief in Allah and Mo-
manned. Shortly after his arrival he st
tempted to establish small but select
harem by inviting several women OF dubi-

foot on the Newark harem by lifting her

SPOILED A NICE JACKPOT.
A Court officer Suspended for Rudcness
to Jurors.
New York TI-nes

New York Times
Twelve Jurors in the Brooklyn City
Court Yesterday disclosed tie fact that
they are lovers of the entlcing game
of draw-poker. They had been listening
to the evidence in the suit Of Charles
Weisbauer against the Atlantic-aYenue
Railroad, to recover damages for iniu-
ries received in collision, aud retired
ct q O'Clock Thursday afternoon in
charge OF Court Officer Daniel
S. Blake, the father-in-Iaw
of Sidney Y. Lowell. He had
been ordered to keep the jury locked up
until midnight, but, according to Fore
man Charley Dotter, Blake appeared az 6
O'Clock and ordered the Jury TO hurry up
and agree upon s verdict. They told him
to mind his own business, and he locked
them in, and for six hours paced back aud
forth before the door growing. few
minutes before midnight he threw open
the door and found game of poker in
progress. This enraged him, and he
cried; "Get out of here, you loafers,"
"You have no right TO put US out" re-
torted juror.
'T'll do as l please" yelled Blske,
with several oaths. "I'u kick you all
out; you're nothing but set of gam
blers, and you've been gambling all
night" Whereupon he thrust the jurors
into the street.
Such was the story told to Judge
Clement Yesterday morning by Juror
Dotter in explaining why YER
dict had not been reached.
Officer Blake who is an old man of
seventy with tears is his eyes, admitted
the truth of the charges except the one
that he had sworn at the Jury, and Judge
Clement suspended him pending an in
vestigation. Blake was appointed by
Judge MCCue in 1870. He said that the
Jurors were gambling and were mad be-
cause he interrupted them in the midst of
q big Jackpot. The man who was the
most furious at the interruption, he said,
held three aces, and the politest of the
players had four kings.
